Unless you are an illegal alien, new job everyday. Just what the rich, corpeRAT America and our elected officials want, cheap labor so they can open another bank account.

The skills asymmetry in the economy is an issue. However, my nephew, who went to trade school to be a mechanic, explained that no matter where you applied, no matter your experience or degree, the starting wage for a mechanic is $15.00(Florida). You can't live anywhere in Florida on that wage.

The problem is that the types of new jobs added to the economy are low low low wage jobs that are probably going to overqualified people (who will never be happy there) or immigrants that are already desperate for work. I’m starting a business and going back to school for a certificate to stay relevant and self sufficient.
The wages are low because of migrants. Your future and country were given away to people who didn't build it, couldn't build there country but come demanding yours. And the corpos love that so do your congress red and blue because the migrants cause your wages to be suppressed for more corpo profits.
Instead of starting a business, you might as well send me your money to my bank account directly. Unless we are talking about 1-2 millions of initial investment, forget about doing that, you will thank me later.

I want to say that it's not only an American issue either, here in Australia it took roughly 700 applications in 6 months to get 4 interviews, all the jobs sucked so bad that they have turnover issues, I soon became part of that turnover
I'm single living in northern Mississippi and work for a USPS mail processing facility, my base pay is $75,000 but i make a little over $100,000 each yr with overtime. I have a matching TSP and a pension with 28 years behind me. Im Retiring in two years at 62 with a 30 yr pension, SS and a little over 1 million in my retirement savings. Also debt free including my home. Im a disabled vet so my health care is free at the VA.
Don't give your ID info (SSN, Last 4 of SSN, or DOB) to accept a job offer without having gone through an interview. That's a red flag for sure. Even staffing agencies will have some personalized contact with you, and you can call a phone number listed by the staffing agency to verify the recruiter and TO HAVE THE RECRUITER CALL YOU.
Why not give your ID info? Just make up the last 4 digits SSN and make up your DOB but keep it within the say year or so. When the online job application demands an expected salary just type in one dollar or $1.00. I know many who do that.
Check the rate of debt increase, the rate of profitability in financial sector vs profitabiltiy in industrial sectors. Here is your answer why. The economy is not growing, it is shrinking, the numbers that are shown to be growing are nothing more than inflated numbers caused by money printing. For a factory to grow, you have to increase you actually output. In financial sector it is different, you print money, pump it into buying out shares, the capitalisation of the company increases and vuola, you have a GDP growth. Regarding the numbers, they are all not reliable, so, one can as well ignore those. For example, you had some fast food branch having a full time employee, and then they fired him and split that position into two part-times, and vuola, you have an "increase" in number of jobs. It is the quality of jobs that matters, but which never is reported.
im a UPS driver and you go it wrong lol, 1st off we been making 6figs since the 90s. They cut supervision jobs not union jobs. And some fedEx drivers make about the same. Amazon is under paying their drivers and ruining the economy.

The new jobs they are talking about are a lot of part-time jobs or gig work like working for Uber or something of that nature don’t let knows misleading statistics fool you!
20 milion people who are willing to work for pennies and no insurance, union or benefits just crossed the border. Why would employers hire us citizens?
My employer will lay off many hundreds of workers and managers every year and they are encouraged to reapply within six months for a much lower salary. I am looking for a state job or I will retire in four years. It’s just greed.
The job market sucks but if you have the skills, you can still find work. I'm in real estate & cybersecurity. I had to slow down my real estate, but I'm doing very well in cybersecurity. My husband is a hazmat tanker doing very well. I put both my sons in IT this March and they're both working two remote positions stacking their money. In six months, they will pivot, and we're helping them buy a duplex property together. No high rent so they can have a head start.
I assume we're talking about CORPORATE careers? Well, the careers of years gone by, the "company man" age, won't return unless we reestablish the conditions that allowed them to happen in the first place. Higher upper-income taxes, anti-trust enforcement, oversight, and regulation. The neocon and neoliberal 40-year campaign to deregulate is the primary cause of insecurity and destabalization of everything from education to housing to food prices.
Best response here. I was born in the middle of this 1992. It’s no way I was meant to win with this corporate model. I had corporate jobs. I was a great employee I got fired. The turnover rate is crazy!!!!
Won't do a cr...p to solve that, the problem is inherent in the capitalist production system itself. You might want to read the theory of Marx on the crisis of capitalism caused by the falling rate of profits, which is what we actually see for the last 30 years everywhere in the world in capitalist countries. You make some product, you earn profit, everyone sees that and jumps in, since everyone is making it now, you are forced to lower your costs by wage reduction, etc. The wage reduction leads to less free available income, that then leads to the fall in demand which again lowers the profits, and that death spiral continues until majority of companies go bust. Add to this the problem of financial blobs, where the earned profits don't go back into production of goods but instead go into bank accounts, purchases of comapany shares, etc. That money is lost for productive purpose after that, it generates rents without creating new goods and jobs. That was described by Marx quite good in his Volume 1. While everyone was laughting at him at that time, now, it is becoming less and less "funny" for everyone.
Fyi ups, it was the union workers ( laborers) who secured the contract. The people who were laid off were apart of ups management. The contracts have never affected them in the first place, 2 different worlds
work is not worth working when your worth to the company isnt enough to pay a worth salary....which means your disposable....so why work....its "ghost posting" reporting jobs...the real sad thing is the majority of these jobs are not Career paths.
I have been unemployed since July 2023. When an employer asks me why I have so many gaps in my resume, I tell them I am searching and submitting resumes constantly; however, they inform me when I follow up, they tell me that “hiring is on hold.” What really kills me is that they tell me this they are still screaming, “We need people NOW!” WTF!? Yea, I am disgusted with this shit! Thanks for letting me vent. Thanks for your video. Now I am convinced these employers are playing games.
Those are ghost jobs, company's advertise them for different reasons. One reason is to claim that the company is really growing to impress stockholders.
USPS is hiring, BUT they are making it harder and harder to make career. I heard they just raised it to 3 years required to have a chance. And he's right. We are behind inflation for the work done. It isn't what it used to be. Work a ton and still barely pay ends meet. Sad times.
Also, some advice on going back for (post) graduate education: 1. Don't take out any loans to do it, especially if you already have student loan debt. 2. Look to get accepted into a fully-funded master's program with a graduate teaching assistantship or fellowship (only apply to programs with full tuition remission plus stipend). 3. Look to get accepted into highly ranked schools, accredited regional state schools at the very least. 4. Apply to 10 programs or more; make sure you can afford the application fees and meet application deadlines well in advance. 4. Consider starting with a graduate certificate program online if you feel you can handle the cost spread out over 2 years or so (they are pricey, but can be worth the money). The certificate will make you more competitive for getting accepted into master's programs. Make sure to secure academic references from your professors in the program. 5. Make sure any online programs you may do come from reputable brick-and-mortar schools and the degree comes straight from the school, with no "online" designation. 6. Apply for as many scholarships as you can if you are unable to secure an assistantship or fellowship. If you absolutely must take on debt, no more than 5-10k in total.
@@jonathanwallace6667 this field is finally starting to pay better than in the past. They simply cant find anyone with these credentials. if you can get the masters for a decent price, state school could be a win.
I love how they talk about how America's productivity has increased. What they don't talk about is that productivity has increased due to automation. To me that should not count. If a machine or a bot is taking a job, then that should be a negative. Also. Why are we counting these platform jobs (door dash, uber, lyft, etc..) as increased job availability. Let me be clear.

Part time jobs should not be counted in the official count. I'm ranting, but you get my point.
ok, coming from someone that might have a little insight on unemployment, although i can not reveal my sources, but l will explain it to you like this.. the unemployment rate is counted as people on unemployment benefits, now lets say your benefits run out, you are not counted as being unemployed, so if you are not counted as being unemployed but you are, then the gov't doesn't count you so to the gov't they will say that the unemployment rate is low, but in reality, you have millions that are unemployed and searching for jobs but no company is hiring the reason why, corporate greed..
You're wrong about USPS and UPS, bro. You could still make a comfortable living off those jobs and you can move up fast. It's just more competitive in the short term than it used to be.
I believe that the job market will not recover this time like it did after the great recession. If you have a half way decent job, keep it. The collapse has just started and this could be worse than ever before. When governments stop building and maintaining public facilities, watch out. When have you ever seen a new school being built? A new park?

I think this is just white collar jobs because I’m over in the trades as a truck mechanic doing basic overnight lube services for 28 bucks an hour and every one I know that’s got blue collar skills are getting hired on the spot for 25hr-35hr
Correct blue collar jobs are in much better shape than white collar jobs in comparison. Construction jobs may become tough because inventory is rising, but in general, a lot more of the young ppl should learn a trade, not go to college.
@@chknchkn6385 trades are just as bad, low wages if you're not Union, low wages and long hours if you're not the contractor, company owner or owner's son. It's been that way.
That is just an Illusion, which will change quite fast. The economy is interconected, you can't have worsening in one part, without leading to a worseining in another one. All these blue colar jobs have to be in demand by someone right? And these are not the people who are blue colars, since they can do that by themselves, they don't need to pay for that. What you see now is called a time delay effect, which will hit you hard too, very soon.
Too many people. Too few jobs. Living expenses are high so we, ol people need, have to work more, longer, bosses are not gonna hire more new people. Get used to it. Old people won't quit. We need the money. We have experience, and clients
